Dear all, I have tried to add an installation source for zypper by either calling zypper sa, or using installation_sources -s <URI> directly, but each time it fails as scribed below. Does anyone know how one ought to add sources? # zypper sa http://opensuse.linux.edu.lv/update/11.1/rpm/x86_64 3198 zmd ZENworks Management Daemon is running.

Aborting refresh. Simon. PS. The list of installation sources on the Novel site is hopelessly out of date. The majority of EU based sites either don't work, or when x86_64 is, then these actually have i386. Rather annoying. PPS.

i wouldn't know, this is an *openSUSE* mail list...i've never seen or run either SLES or SLED, have tried asking on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) mail list, or in a group on forums.novell.com ?

i have no idea how zypper works on SLES 10, but i believe it *is* very different from openSUSE 11.1 which this 'cheat sheet' was built for: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf so, you are ok to glance at that, but *study* man zypper finally, exactly what operating system and version are you running? i ask because it looks like you maybe are running SLES 10 SP2 x86_64 yet tried to source openSUSE 11.1 packages from opensuse.linux.edu.lv/update/11.1 and i don't think you can do that, at least not by using the automatic systems like YaST or Zypper....remember, SLES 10 is a commercial OS which requires you to pay an annual support fee to Novell in order to access the SLES repos.. not the FREE openSUSE repos... see what i mean? (but, correct me if i am wrong..and i *guess* it might be possible to download 11.1 (or 11.2) RPMs and manually install them....but, i'd guess you would soon tire of "dependency hell" and run back to paying the low annual fee to keep your system pure..
